In the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, many PLA fighters were buried in the southwestern frontier, and they defended national security and dignity with their blood and lives. In the war, many heroic stories that can be sung and wept have emerged.
Among them, Xiao Jiaxi, a soldier of the 50th Army, after being seriously injured, with his love for the motherland and strong will, fought alone behind enemy lines for 8 days and 8 nights, and finally returned to the embrace of the motherland. Let's take a look at the hero's war story.
This war was waged under intolerable circumstances, and the morale of our People's Liberation Army is high and it is determined to deal a heavy blow to the provocateurs and strive to safeguard national security and rights and interests. However, the southwest border is high and densely forested, full of dangers, driving on the ground is in the enemy's favor, and at the beginning, the People's Liberation Army was often ambushed and sneaked by the enemy.
Xiao Jiaxi was a feeder in the cooking squad at that time, and one day when they were following the company for support, they were suddenly attacked by the enemy, and the enemy occupied favorable terrain, and quickly scattered Xiao Jiaxi's company, but the soldiers fought in their own squads and fought tenaciously with the enemy.
Xiao Jiaxi's cooking squad also lost contact with the company, and had to use the limited weapons in his hand to fight with the enemy in a roundabout way, and look for opportunities to find the company headquarters. That night, they crossed a road and suddenly encountered an enemy patrol.
The enemy situation was sudden, and the enemy was outnumbered and outnumbered in a hasty battle, and it was too late to retreat. At the critical moment, Xiao Jiaxi took the lead and decided to cover everyone's retreat and use the terrain to snipe the enemy himself. Xiao Jiaxi maneuvered while fighting, leading the enemy in another direction, when suddenly a bullet hit him in the buttocks, and the huge pain made him fall to the ground.
But the comrades-in-arms have not gone far, the danger has not yet been lifted, and they must continue to deal with the enemy. The ninja was in great pain, and he couldn't care less about bandaging, and he ran desperately towards the mountain. Luckily, he eventually dumped the enemy and hid in a cave. The night was already very deep, and after not hearing any movement outside for a long time, Xiao Jiaxi simply treated the wound and passed out.
During the day, the sun shone into the cave, and Xiao Jiaxi immediately woke up, because there were enemies searching the mountain not far away, but fortunately the enemy did not find him. For two consecutive days, the Xiao family hid in the cave with joy and fear, relying on wild vegetables and stagnant water to quench their hunger and thirst, and the wound was gradually inflamed and worsened.
Two days later, after confirming the safety, Xiao Jiaxi decided to go out and look for the organization in the direction of the border line. Enduring the pain, Xiao Jiaxi limped for four days, and finally found a hidden cave, he could no longer walk, because the wound was already suppurative and maggots.
The desperate situation in the depths not only did not make Xiao Jiaxi despair, but on the contrary, it stimulated his belief that he must return to the motherland. The next day he could no longer stand up, but he did not give up, but instead propped his body in the bushes with his hands, crawling little by little in the direction of the motherland.
On the ninth day of his separation from the company, he crawled for an unknown distance, and finally came to a cornfield, by which time he was already unconscious, his palms and arms were also bloodied, and he could no longer climb, but he had a strong feeling that he had come to the land of the motherland.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before the People's Liberation Army on the border patrol found him and sent him to the hospital for treatment, Xiao Jiaxi was saved, and he finally returned to the embrace of the motherland after nine deaths with his will and faith.
But the wounds on his body were too bad, his hips had festered into a bowl of scars, and he was malnourished and unusually weak. He was quickly transferred to the Guangxi Military Hospital, where he received meticulous treatment, and Xiao Jiaxi finally made a full recovery after more than 2 months. After Xiao Jiaxi's deeds spread, it became a hot topic for everyone for a while, winning wide acclaim, and all of them were surprised by his legendary manager. Even General Wang Zhen went to the hospital to visit him personally.
Extend your condolences and salute to him. Xiao Jiaxi, who escaped death, reported to the general: As long as I have a breath, I must return to the great motherland.
The simple words are full of the love and absolute loyalty of an ordinary soldier to the motherland; they did not choose to surrender, let alone give up their faith, but they wanted to return to the motherland after death; his perseverance and courage were highly affirmed and commended by his superiors; he was awarded the honorary title of "Iron Warrior" by the Central Military Commission, and his unit also awarded him the title of "First Class Meritorious Hero." Xiao Jiaxi became an example and model for officers and men to learn from, and later, he was elected as an army representative of the Seventh National People's Congress.
In the revolutionary ranks, whether it was the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression or the War of Liberation, many heroic fighters like Xiao Jiaxi emerged, who dedicated their youth to the motherland and built a great wall of steel. Although the times are changing, the blood is still flowing in the hearts of every Chinese son and daughter.
